Ninefold Purple

After February [-], the wind blows on the body and there is no chill.

The flower trees sprouted buds, the green grass emerged from the ground, and the winter jasmine bloomed vigorously and freely, and the flowers were all over the branches and slopes, and the whole sky was brightened.

Dou Zhao wore a moon-white Hangzhou silk jacket and a blue eight-panel Hunan skirt, and sat quietly on the beauty leaning on the octagonal gazebo in the back garden, as peaceful as a stream of spring water flowing in a mountain stream.

The old man of the Ji family came forward in person and reached a tacit agreement with the fifth uncle on the condition that he supported the fifth uncle's master, the official minister Fang Zhou, who was appointed as the Chief Secretary of Zhejiang by the Ministry of Officials.

Just waiting for her divorce from the Wei family, she will be engaged to Ji Yong. [

Why did the Ji family suddenly take a fancy to her?

And it was still when she was married to you.

If this matter gets out, how will the Ji family gain a foothold in the south of the Yangtze River?

It's no wonder that people who know about it keep it secret!

Dou Zhao never belittles himself, nor is he blindly arrogant.

In terms of character, she is far behind those filial and strong daughters who are well-known; in terms of birth, her biological mother died young; Uncle joined the cabinet and became one of the most famous families in Beizhili, but the fifth uncle had just joined the cabinet after all, and his foundation was still shallow. There are many centuries-old families in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Ji family is also one of them. Marriage, not to mention that the Ji family and the Dou family are already in-laws. The sixth and fifth uncles who married the girl from the Ji family are brothers of the same family. …

After much deliberation, there is only one possibility.

The Ji family hopes to restrain Ji Yong through her.

Dou Zhao was thinking, and his eyes fell on the sticky crabapple not far away.

A tree of bright red flowers bloomed, as bright as clouds and burning as fire.

Does Ji Yong know the real intention of Old Master Ji?

What did he think?

Dou Zhao felt that he should meet Ji Yong.

But before she could tell Su Xin, Chen Qushui came to see her with the account book.

"Your Majesty wants to see you." He fiddled with the abacus and said, "From that tone, it seems that I know that you don't want to marry the Marquis of Jining."

Dou Zhao has a headache.

The matter of the Wei family is still unresolved, Ji Yong is involved, and now Song Mo appears again...

She said: "You tell the son that my marriage is decided by the elders, please don't interfere."

Chen Qushui was very hesitant. [

Dou Zhao told him that Mrs. Ji was visiting.

Chen Qushui turned pale with shock: "How could this happen?"

Compared to the Wei family, the Ji family's marriage is well established.

"I'm going to retire the engagement, and acquiesce to Song Mo's move. What's the matter?" Dou Zhao said, "Besides, you also know Song Mo's character. If he doesn't come out, you will be yourself. If he makes a move, he will succeed. But what about after? I am afraid that if I resign from the Wei family, the Ji family will come to propose marriage. The Ji family is no better than the Wei family. They can help Uncle Fifth in the temple. If this marriage is settled, it will not be so easy to withdraw. I If you don’t want to get married until you die, not to mention the Second Wife and Fifth Uncle, even Father, Aunt Cui and Sixth Aunt, I’m afraid they won’t let me go, and everyone might think I’m crazy if things get to that point. It's a dead end. Is it true that I can't marry Cousin Ji? It's better to marry Marquis Jining. At least Marquis Jining is easy to fool, Cousin Ji, I have to sleep with one eye open. All my life I just want to live a comfortable life, and go west of Hexi at the end of my life, and I have no intention of assisting my husband to become king or minister, to go down in history, to be like Liang Hongyu."

Chen Qushui couldn't help laughing: "I don't want to die when I'm old. Miss is young, but she speaks old-fashioned. However, what Miss said is unreasonable. Although Ji Jianming is very talented, but He is also arrogant and difficult to get along with. Moreover, the Ji family has six families in the first branch and thirteen houses in the side branch. Including the in-laws who depend on them, there are hundreds of families in total. To marry Ji Jianming, it is really better to marry to the Jining Hou Mansion .”

The only person who can understand her wanting to be alone is Chen Qushui.

With his affirmation, Dou Zhao was in a great mood.

She said: "I think this matter has to start with the Wei family. As long as the Wei family does not agree to divorce, it is impossible for the Dou family to discuss marriage with the Ji family. At that time, the Ji family will definitely yn* the Wei family. If we get the Wei Ji family's handle, we will take advantage of the righteousness, and the fifth uncle will never want to marry me to the Ji family."

Chen Qushui pondered: "You mean to accuse the Ji family of destroying your marriage... In this way, even if the fifth master wants to marry the Ji family, he can't bear the reputation of being a gangster and persecuting his niece!"

"That's right." Dou Zhao said with a smile, "The Wei family betrayed their promises, and the Ji family bullied the weak. I can use this as an excuse. From now on, the ancient Buddha will no longer care about marriage. For the sake of half of Xi Dou's property , I believe that the second wife will persuade the fifth uncle to let me stay at home."

However, Chen Qushui was worried: "What if the Ji family and the Wei family drag on like this? Jining Hou is not young, and there is no one to preside over the middle donation at home. There's a landing."

Dou Zhao said with a smile: "Then do you think the Ji family will spend with the Wei family like this?"

Chen Qushui was puzzled: "Dragging can only benefit the Ji family, after all, they have no reason."

"If the members of the Ji family think so, they won't do such a thing of robbing the house." Dou Zhao sneered, "Ji Jianming grew up like this, you think the members of the Ji family have no responsibility at all!"

Chen Qushui smiled wryly.

Dou Zhaodao: "Help me invite the Marquis of Jining to meet at home!"

"This is the Jing'an Temple Hutong."

"Naturally, it's the Jing'an Temple Hutong." Dou Zhao said, "After all, Aunt Fifth presides over Zhongfu here, so it's very inconvenient to do things." Then he said, "By the way, you can tell Song Mo, it's best to let him think that although I am heartbroken , but I still hope to save my marriage, lest he get involved and make things more complicated."

Chen Qushui nodded.

The two discussed some details again, and Dou Zhao sent him to the Chuihuamen, but met Ji Yong.

"Cousin Ji!" Dou Zhaohe greeted him.

His face was flushed, he faltered in response, without looking sideways, he walked past her with his head held high. [

Dou Zhao was angry and funny, and asked the boy who saw Ji Yong off: "What is Cousin Ji here for?"

The young man laughed and said, "The fifth master is rarely taking a rest this year, Ji Bianxiu came here to say hello to the fifth master, and said something about learning."

Dou Zhao said "hmm" and went back to the main courtyard.

Mrs. Ji was talking to Mrs. Fifth, and her expression was a little unsightly.Seeing her coming in, both of them stopped talking, and smiled at her at the same time: "I'm back!"

Smiling, Dou Zhao stepped forward to salute the two aunts and took the sixth aunt's arm.

The sixth aunt's body froze.

The Fifth Aunt smiled and said, "Look, you stand like a mother and daughter."

Aunt Six didn't make a sound.

Dou Zhao giggled, and when the steward came in, she asked Aunt Fifth to show her. She took Aunt Six into the west wing room, and served Aunt Six with the peach cakes she had made.

The Sixth Aunt's expression was a bit obscure, she took the peach cake, patted Dou Zhao's hand lightly, and said in a low voice: "Shougu, if the Sixth Aunt does something wrong, you must forgive me."

Dou Zhao understands.

There was her on one side, and the elders of her natal family on the other. It was very difficult for her to be caught in the middle.

If Ji Yong is unbearable, it's okay to say, at least the sixth aunt has a reason to object.However, Ji Yong's youth, the most promising prospect in the eyes of the world, and the reasons of the sixth aunt are not any reasons at all.

She leaned on the sixth aunt's shoulder with a smile, and said with a smile: "I don't think my mother is ugly. Don't worry, even if you give the gold necklace that you promised to leave to me, I won't blame you. Your."

"You child!" Mrs. Ji stroked Dou Zhao's hair, her heart was even more bitter, and she secretly made up her mind that if Ji Yong dared to neglect Dou Zhao in the slightest, even if she broke her face with her sister-in-law, she couldn't do it. Let Dou Zhao be wronged.

She couldn't help murmuring: "Don't worry, you will have a good life."

Dou Zhao had a sore nose and almost shed tears.

※※※※※

Knowing that Dou Zhao wanted to see him, Wei Tingyu hurriedly made a straight gown with green bamboo-colored silk inlaid with cloud patterns, which is the most popular in Kyoto nowadays, and went to the alley of Jing'an Temple.

This is the first time that Dou Zhao looked at Wei Tingyu directly after his rebirth.

With a young face, thin fluff can still be seen around the lips, sitting there with a straight front, looking very reserved, which made her feel familiar and strange.

"Drink tea!" Dou Zhao pointed to Biluochun on the tea table.

"Thank you!" Wei Tingyu murmured with a blushing face, and took a sip from the teacup.

Either he was too nervous, or he drank too much, he suddenly choked on the tea and coughed.

Dou Zhao hurriedly asked Su Xin to hand him a handkerchief.

Wei Tingyu thanked him in embarrassment, after all, his expression was a little more relaxed than before.

Dou Zhao said, "Do you want to divorce?"

"No, no," Wei Tingyu waved his hands again and again, flustered, "I've never thought about it like this..."

Dou Zhaodao: "I also believe that you and my sister have nothing..."

"Miss Si!" Before she could speak, Wei Tingyu's face was full of shock.

Ever since it was discovered that he and Dou Ming had made an appointment to meet at Daxiangguo Temple, my sister slapped her with a "slap" without saying a word, and my mother couldn't stop crying, it was my brother-in-law who always treated him like a brother , also showed disappointment, Wang Qinghai went too far, gloating and asked him: "Is it the older sister who looks better or the younger sister who looks better?"

Only Dou Zhao believed that he and Dou Ming had no affair.

"Lingmei and I, it's really nothing!" He said excitedly, "At the beginning, Lingmei asked someone to bring me a message, saying that she was in a hurry to find me, about my marriage with you, and asked me to go quietly to Daxiangguo Temple. My maid is waiting for me there..."

Dou Zhao really believed it.

Dou Ming is not a fool.

"You don't need to argue." Dou Zhao said, "I believe what you say."

"Thank you, Miss Fourth." Wei Tingyu was grateful.

"It's just that so many things have happened, I'm exhausted physically and mentally, and the elders in the family are worried," Dou Zhao said. "Should we talk about our marriage in a few days? Everyone take a breath and take this opportunity to think about it." for the future."

Wei Tingyu was stunned.

What does Dou Zhao mean?

She said she believed him, but she had to postpone the wedding for a while...

The fans in the flower hall were opened in all directions, and the colorful flowers in mid-spring came into view, but Wei Tingyu couldn't feel the slightest joy.

Sisters and brothers, make up for the addition of May 5th.
